Completely agree. I used to teach life drawing, and one model had plastic surgery, no gravity—that made the students’ job harder to draw her figure in a natural life-like manner. The same issue happened with a male model with a too perfect gym-bod. I find the best models for idealist images to be dancers and athletes.

Both are excellent suggestions. Thank you.

Good points.

It was all painted together. The transparency was painted with opaque color. The colors were mixed just to give the illusion of transparency.
